I've recently been told that 'been a son' is played in Drop D. I know for sure that at paramount he played it in drop D, is it in drop D also on the incesticide record or he plays it in E?
I was looking at a pic of him and thinking he brought a lot of fun to people but not sure he had much fun himself, given how his life ended.
Local H is a legendary rock/grunge/alt rock band from Chicago. This is a full video of them playing as Nirvana in 1997 for Halloween. The singer (Scott Lucas) pulls off Kurt’s vocals and energy extremely well. Enjoy!
(This band is still around by the way, and still absolutely kick ass!)
Setlist:
Kurt was so ahead of his time in terms of inclusivity. Genuinely a genius! I need some cheering up and loud music and weird dancing about now.
Was doing research on the song Moist V*gina, and learned that Kurt had 18 songs planned, 12 of which made it onto the album with their titles significantly changed, do we have recordings and names of all them?
I’ve recently noticed that over social media primarily TikTok the seasons in the sun cover has become really popular and people genuinely loving it (which I want to clarify I don’t have a problem with you do you) but personally I think it sounds absolutely terrible Kurt’s playing the drums which are too fast and sound terrible and it just sounds like a overall mess personally I believe that if Kurt was alive today and found out it was released he would be extremely embarrassed what do you guys think?
There was a concert where Nirvana played at some house party or bar where the footage was from a camera and some guys were playing pool in the background but I can't find it
Nirvana - Something In The Way (Live On MTV Unplugged Unedited, 1993)
How did you feel during/after listening? Were you hooked right away or did it take a few more listens? Which song/s made you a fan?
Radio Friendly Unit Shifter isy favorite song by Nirvana and I'd really like to cover it, but I don't have any pedals, would it still be possible to cover? I think I can sing it and I'm sure I can learn the chords, it's mainly the opening/middle/end of the song where there's like that loud buzzing that I'm worried about. Is it possible?
As a poker fan, I came across this piece about the late Steve Albini. Thought it was very well written, well worth a read.

I hope they do another rarities box set, there's still so much we haven't heard from Nirvana, even 35 years after the release of Bleach. I don't wanna list it all, but some of the things I think would be cool to see are Song In D (especially since Dave joked about a second box set and it's also never been heard before I don't believe, which makes it one of the few Nirvana songs that haven't been heard whatsoever by the public at least to my knowledge) and another thing I'd love to see on the box set is Horrified and the 1990 radio session for Dumb. We have the 1991 radio session, but unfortunately not the 1990 session. Which I'd argue is one of the coolest.
In Utero and Incesticide have been butting heads for me as my favorite Nirvana album. Whilst it's technically a compilation album I still think the material provided on it makes it a good enough listen for an album. Kurt once said he wanted Incesticide to be higher quality than what the end release ended up being, which I find really interesting, because how could he have possibly improved it? Whatever the case I think Kurt loved Incesticide. He clearly put in a lot of love and effort into making it happen. And reading the liner notes almost makes me cry. This was his treat/thank you for the many hardcore fans of Nirvana who really wanted to see all of the ins and outs of the band. RIP Kurt, thank you for giving us fans a wonderful album to dig into with some wonderful songs. I mean not many other artists I feel like treated their fans like this, or had made albums like this directly for the fans. That’s what makes this one special I believe.
